Okay, maybe this is a silly NooB question, but how does the spare tire carrier lock work? I have the window sticker that indicates one of the options I have is the locking spare, and sure enough my tool bag includes the "key", but I'm baffled as to how it goes onto the jack handle to "unlock" the tire. Even though the item seems to be a Toyota factory item, I can't find any reference to it in the manual.
Below is a photo of the "breakdown kit" along with the "key" (the shiny metal cylinder.) From its design I assume it hooks onto one of the rods but I can't figure out how. Any help, especially with photos or drawings, would be much appreciated.
